Within terms of victory, there are two scenarios: one in which there is an eventual peace after the fighting, where the Nazis rule continental Europe but Britain and the United States are free and it is an acceptance of the state of affairs as they stand. The other being Britain conquered and so forth (without that which shall not be uttered). I would prefer to focus on the former scenario, but the latter scenario is open to discussion. My question is, what becomes of Rudolf Hess assuming that he still makes the failed peace mission and is still taken into custody? The interesting part is that it would essentially be the end to the war that Hess had been seeking (or worse, in the total occupation of Britain scenario), after the loss of a great deal of life, with a Britain with no reason to keep him, while Hitler is not at all happy by his actions and is likely to do something rather nasty with him or may have no interest in having him returned to Germany.
